Department of Psychology, Columbia University, New York, New York, USA
PLoS Biol 4:e128. 2006..These data support the view that during episodic encoding, "top-down" control signals originating in the prefrontal cortex help determine which perceptual information is fated to be bound into the new episodic memory trace... - Neural dynamics of rejection sensitivityEthan Kross
